Tom and I made bubble wands and made giant bubbles until we ran out of bubble solution last night :D We made bubbles that bounced off the carpet!! And bubbles that seemed to last forever and ever. And GIANT bubbles that take forever to pop along their length.

So... many many weeks ago I felt the need to buy this shiny, green beetle encased in resin.

Tonight, I had a random urge to engrave all over it. In my mind it was going to turn out more victoria/goth lace-like design. Instead I came up with something that vaguely reminds me of one of my favourite movies from my childhood... Explorers.

If you've never seen this movie before, I highly recommend you watch it. It is fantasy but very wonderful.

This part is pretty far along in the movie but that crystal in young Ethan Hawk's hand is what I was reminded of when I finished my bug carving.

It's funny how memory isn't perfect - I thought the crystal was green with white carvings but actually it looks more clear with green carvings.
